The FBI on Tuesday identified the driver of a car who was killed when he refused police orders to turn back from a gate at the National Security Agency headquarters outside Washington. Ricky Shawatza Hall, 27, was shot by police Monday at the heavily-guarded entrance to the US eavesdropping agency at Fort Meade, Maryland, the FBI said in a statement. Another passenger in the car was being treated at a local hospital, and an NSA police officer was treated for injuries and released. Authorities were carrying out an investigation of the incident and collecting evidence, but the FBI's Baltimore office "does not believe this is related to terrorism," said FBI spokeswoman Amy Thoreson.
